It is a fault, yes. It is one that TfL would be able to solve quite
easily by obtaining a quantity of pocket validators and selling them
at ticket offices (or by mail order) to those who want them. I
believe they cost under a tenner a shot.

Will people please stop getting so defensive and assuming that
pointing out a limitation of Oyster is a statement that it is "crap",
as this is not the case.
